( VIDEO / ACTION. ) | DEC.4TH | PEOPLE WHO SAY SANTA DOESN'T EXIST ACTUALLY WANT TO BELIEVE IN HIM

[naturallywavy]

<sub>[ For those of you who may have spoted Gintoki at the charity event, they might recognize a handmade booth on the feed. Only.. it's been slightly altered. Instead of KISSING BOOTH and etc, it's been painted over with something that might be more offensive.. depending on who you are. The booth reads:

COME MEET SATAN CLAUS
15🌑️ FOR PHOTO
30🌑️ FOR WISH LIST

To boot, he's in some festive attire and looks like the most lethargic Santa Claus ever. ]</sub>

Yo, yo, yo.

_{[ isn't it.. ho ho ho.. ]}

It's that time of year and I'm open for business. Come pay me a visit for a small fee. I know what it's like to want something so badly and not get it— it's like seeing Fri*za's final form and being awfully disappointed, so don't let that happen to you.
_{[ it's not very small fee at all.. he's really awful at being in character.]}

Fill out your wish list.
You never know. If you've been good, you might just get what you want. I'm a busy man, so hurry it up, morons.

_{[ He turns his location on, and for those who actually meet him, here's a wish list to fill out. He'll be ready to transfer currency before you take a sheet: ]}

HAVE YOU BEEN GOOD THIS YEAR? ANSWER YES OR NO:
NO, SERIOUSLY. HAVE YOU BEEN GOOD AT ALL OR JUST A PAIN IN THE ASS?:
WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR THE HOLIDAY? KEEP IT CHEAP:
NAME SOMEONE SPECIAL TO SPREAD HOLIDAY CHEER TOWARDS, SOMEONE WHO NEEDS IT:
YOU'VE HEARD OF ELF ON THE SHELF, BUT HAVE YOU HEARD OF..?:

thanks

interested in making a wish?

[offshoots]

Are you gonna charge me 30 for it? Isn't that overkill for Christmas? There's a lot of poor people out there.

[naturallywavy]

30 is plenty fair

yeah i'm one of the poor people out there
so make it snappy, buddy

[offshoots]

Says the guy who thinks 30 is a small fee.

Nope, I'll pass. There's no way the wish would come true anyway. Unless you're some sorta miracle worker, Satan. I'm pretty sure that's God, though.

[naturallywavy]

suit yourself
your loss

[naturallywavy]

wanna give me a hint anyway?

_{[ Alright, maybe he's concerned. ]}

[offshoots]

[gin...]

Not really.

[ROBIN.........]

2/3

[offshoots]

[10 seconds later:]

I don't have a wish.

[offshoots]

Not for Satan to grant.

There are already plenty of good little brats for you to worry about anyway, right? And steal their meager allowances from.

_{[ For a second, Gintoki watches the feed thoughtfully, taking a long time to respond. Maybe Robin has gotten to him somehow. After all, his wishes aren't guaranteed. ]}

[naturallywavy]

so be it then
your loss

_{[ OR NOT. ]}

[offshoots]

I'm not losing a thing. I'm saving 30.

[ANYWAY.]

You sound about as enthused about being Santa as I would be about stepping in some dog crap. Are you just doing this for the money, then?

[naturallywavy]

well
yeah

what else would i be doing it for

_{[ That's a lie. Believe it or not, he does enjoy helping people quite a bit. ]}

[offshoots]

I dunno. Some idiots out there do it out of the goodness of their hearts? They wanna help people, make kids smile, give hope and something to believe in. That sorta thing.

But, hey, good for you. You're a money-grubber like everyone else, huh? Well, maybe I'll actually pay to fill out that list of yours then if you're that hard up on Chroma. You should really just find another Moonblessed to do it with, though. It's much more efficient than doing any work.

[shut up Robin]

[naturallywavy]

ah you know
i just don't need anymore people getting attached to me
i have plenty of love interests as it is

let me just make general money
it's sort of what i'm used to doing

[offshoots]

Sounds rough.

[/sarcasm]

Yeah, well, like I said: I'll think about stopping by if you're still open for business.
